The sea breeze was cool and Kendrick was trying to have a conversation with Rosy. He knew it wasn't going to be easy but he had to try. Since they got married, they haven't spent time together because he always claims to be busy.He spoke first when he realized Rosy was not going to say anything and despite everything he had said, Rosy still looked unconvinced about his repentance.Kendrick still wonders why he wants to make peace with his wife but he can't get any valid reason. He just felt the need to be a good husband to her.He had been speaking with her without lifting his eyes off his wife's face. Rosy was as calm as a dove and her face shone. Kendrick felt his wife had been glowing recently but he couldn't dare to ask her why."I know my actions are surprising right now. I have realized my mistake and I just wish I'm not too late to make things right again.” Kendrick said, his eyes still on Rosy.Rosy was about to say something to him when she suddenly looked behind him and exc
“Thank you for coming,” Mr. Wright said to a man standing close to the door.He had organized a party for the board members at his house and a lot of them came around.“Thank you for stopping by Mr. Patrick,” he said to another man who is the assistant chairman of the board.“I am glad I could come around,” they shook hands as they exchanged pleasantries.Mr. Wright welcomed everyone that had come, although not all the board members came, some told him they wouldn't be able to come while others didn't give any excuses especially those in support of Rosy.“I want to say a big thank you to everyone who made time to be here today, despite being informed at short notice. Let's enjoy ourselves and interact with each other as that is the purpose of the party.” Wright announced.He held the party for just one reason, to make the board members see him as the most reliable person for the Ceo position and not Rosy.He had been acting nice and good to every member of R.B. because their support w
"Where do I put my signature?” Cassandra asked Liam.“Over here ma'am,” he pointed to the blank space at the bottom of the document.Cassandra signed and handed it over to him, Liam glanced through it and nodded.“I believe Mr. Wright has told you everything before now right?” Liam asked.Liam is one of Mr. Wright's trusted followers at R.B. Conglomerate. Wright has sent him to transfer the shares to Cassandra since Rosy was investigating the share procedures and shareholders.The document Cassandra just signed was a mutual agreement between her and Wright, her name will be on the share for the main time and when everything is done, Wright will take ownership of it again.“He has told me but you can go on if there is anything else,” Cass said.“The share will be in your name for now as you hold a four percent share of R.B. Once everything is settled on Mr. Wright's part, you will return the shares,” Liam explained.“I know that already, any extra information?” Cass asked Liam.“Yes, p
“Welcome back, Emma,” Rosy ran toward Emma as she pulled her into a passionate embrace.“Did someone miss me so much that she has to strangle me in a tight embrace immediately when she sees me?” Emma asked rhetorically, rolling her eyes.Emma has gone to Diavolo to work with a company for a few weeks. It was a new company and Emma’s services were needed to train the new employees on the skills they needed to perform their jobs effectively.Rosy disengaged from the embrace and said happily, “Who won't miss you?”“I only left for a few weeks and you miss me this much,” Emma looked at Rosy suspiciously as she noticed Rosy was glowing and had added a little weight. “And why do you look this beautiful?” she asked.Rosy stared at her for a while, she didn't know how to react to the question and if she didn’t come up with an idea soon, Emma will find out she was pregnant which she didn't want anyone to know yet.“That's because I have been taking good care of myself, prioritizing myself firs
There is no other person as hungry to become the Ceo of R.B. other than Mr. Wright. Rosy was shocked, whatever Emma was saying she couldn't hear.Emma's lips were moving but no words were coming out of it. Why will Mr. Wright go as far as gathering support from Diavolo? She had gotten so lost In her thought that Emma's constant screaming of her name didn't bring her back until she patted her back.“Rosy, are you okay?” Emma asked, worries written on her face“Yeah, I am just thinking what the Ceo would have done wrong to be hated by the board.” Rosy turned to Emma, raising her brows as if Emma would have an idea.“I don't know either. He never told me but the way he spoke, it seems they said the Ceo is altering their plans.” Emma said.“What plans?”“You know, they get money illegally most times and the Ceo is totally against it,” Emma said.“Who did the man go get support from In Diavolo?” Rosy asked.“Are you trying to save the Ceo just the same way you did to Kendrick's mom? Who kn
"Mr. Jack, she isn't capable of leading us,” Mr. Wright said.He was at Mr. Jacks’ office, the chairman and executive director of the board. Since he has won Mr. Patrick over to his side, he just has to win Mr. Jack too and that's all.“Why is she not capable?” Mr. Jack asked, his eyes fixed on the file in his hand.“She is a woman, she makes decisions with her emotions and things have changed since she came back,” Wright complained bitterly.“Yes. A lot did change but it was for the good of R.B. The last sales were superb and unbelievable. Even when the previous design was stolen. A good reminder for me to investigate that as well,” Mr. Jack said.Mr. Wright looked at Mr. Jack coldly when he said he would investigate the issue. If he finds out the staff at the jewelry department has a hand in it, then he will be caught. That wasn't an issue to him now, he just needed to convince this man right in front of him.“Mr. Jack, you can ask some of the board members, they don't want her.”“H
Rosy has been in the winemaking section the whole day. She had this new wine recipe she had thought of the previous day and had attempted to try it but she wasn't getting the taste she wanted.She kept trying till she finally got it. Right there she thought of making two more different wines. It's been a long time since she made wine and the head of the winemaking department wasn't doing anything useful.The wines he has been making are below what R.B. is known for. She is the chairman of the ATU body but the wines made by her company no longer tastes as it used to.Mahon had told her the wine tastes were not good at all and that prompted her action now.After many attempts, she got three different recipes and wines ready. Since the leaked jewelry incident, she has always been careful when it comes to new ideas.She returned to her office looking so tired and weak. She touched her abdomen, no one is aware she is pregnant till now except Dr. Fred and the unconscious Ronald.She picked
“Kendrick, you no longer care about me. I am still carrying your child remember,” Cassandra said to Kendrick who was busy with his laptop.“I care, Cassandra.” He defended.“But you don't show it. You barely ask about me or take me out. You don't even know how the baby and I are coping,” Cassandra retorted.“Cassandra, I know you are fine. You are carrying my child and that's why I trust you to be fine.” Kendrick said and his words annoyed Cassandra.Cassandra couldn't believe the words Kendrick just said, “Because I am carrying your child I will be fine?” She asked, her eyes nearly popping out in shock.“Cassandra, I am busy right now, can we just talk about this later?” Kendrick said, attempting to discard her.“Coming from someone who just claimed he cares. Kendrick you didn't ask me if I have been to the hospital for my regular checkup all these while.” She stamped her feet on the floor angrily.“Cassandra, the company needs me now more than ever. I need to focus on the company's
“Stupid, stupid, stupid.” Mr. Wright angrily threw his things on the couch. “I thought they were going to praise me but it seems they have the opposite in mind.” He slumps into the chair and continues ranting, “Reggie, your children have done more than you and right now, I am not going to pity them anymore, ending them so they can unite with you quickly.” He said with a grin. While sitting on the chair and thinking, his phone rang. Mr. Wright didn't want to answer at first but when he brought the phone out after the caller persisted, he saw that it was Mr. Jack. Mr Wright hissed loudly and then dropped the phone beside him while he watched it ring continuously. The phone soon stopped ringing and everywhere in his room became silent again and then a message popped up. “You should better pick up your phone you disgrace and a disappointment.” Mr. Jack has said in his text. “What? Who does he think he is to call me that? I should begin to work alone. All Mr. Jack cares about is his r
Mr. Wright stood up and barked, “I should have truly ended you then.” Everyone in the hall grasped.“What, Mr. Wright, that was so cruel of you to say.” A member of the board exclaimed.Mr. Wright turned to him and, with a devilish grin, said, “Then I will add you when I want to kill him so you will learn to mind your business.” He turned to the boy and said, “If you didn’t want something else, why then did you agree to my little threat?”The boy kept quiet as he bent his head, and that provoked Ronald, and he yelled, “Speak up.”“Who doesn’t know you, Mr. Wright? None of your threats are little; if you say it, you do mean it, and I just want to be alive; that is the only reason I indulged.” The boy said with a shaking voice.“Haha,” Mr. Wright laughed. “Really? I am this popular and I have no idea about it?” He sat down and continued to speak, “Since I am known for taking my words seriously, we can just carry out the threat very soon. Be careful, young man.”“Mr. Wright, do you real
“Thank you, everyone, for being a great help to the success of the conference. We all must know that the glory and praise don’t go to me alone as the CEO but to every staff of R.B. Conglomerate. Thank you all.” Ronald said.Everyone applauded his short and brief speech of thanks but despite the facade, Ronald could see the disappointment on the faces of some of the people sitting before him.Mr. Wright’s face changed from smiling sheepishly to a fake smile when he realized Ronald was not going to call names and let everyone give applause to the people. “Thank you, Mr. Brown. The conference wouldn’t have been this good and impactful if not for your unique idea. The awarding of CEOs was one nobody had ever thought of, and that alone has earned R.B. another reputation as the sales now are unbelievable. Congratulations, and thank you.” The sales head said.“Truly, you might say the glory belongs to every staff of R.B., but we here know everything is your idea, and we are saying thank yo
“I have sent my men to check if she is with her parents because that is the safest place for Ronald to take her to.” Mr. Wright said.He was on a call with Mr. Jack. After Mr. Jack kept speaking to Ronald while he used the opportunity to take Javier to a corner and speak with him, they went their separate ways because a few staff were still around, and to everyone, they were enemies and should not be seen together.“How come you never observed it? I thought you were brilliant, Mr. Wright.” Mr. Jack asked.“I am sorry for disappointing you, but I did try everything I could to find out her whereabouts.”“But you noticed her father’s company grew tremendously. You noticed Ronald became authoritative towards you like he owns the world, and you also noticed he was no longer scared of you like he used to before the accident. You also noticed he was always happy and didn’t care much, didn’t you?” Mr. Jack scolded him.Mr. Jack was very angry after Mr. Wright told him Javier was the one who t
“WHAT?!” Ronald exclaimed holding his head.“What is wrong?” Rosy asked holding his hands.“Mr. Wright was only able to speak with Javier last night because Mr. Jack came to speak with me and he refused to leave and was saying absolute nonsense. That means he was working with Mr. Wright.” Ronald exclaimed more this time holding his chest due to unbelief.“You need to calm down Ronald. Mr. Wright won’t be able to get to us anymore because with what you did yesterday, everyone now has their eyes on you but he can use Clara and Lyon too.” Rosy breathed out.“What should we do now? Should I take them out of Oxagon?” Ronald asked rubbing his forehead.“Javier has to confirm something,” Rosy said and then waved at Javier, “Javier, please come over.”Javier came to them and greeted them after congratulating Ronald again.“Did you do what I asked you?” Rosy asked.“Yes I did and I was surprised to find out that Mr. Wright is just being a tool. There are plans to eliminate him as soon as he ge
“Good morning, Love. Why didn’t you wake me up when you got back?” Clara asked Ronald, who was sleeping beside her.“Good morning, Mine; you look exhausted; I know you must have had a long day.” Ronald kissed her.“Congratulations on the success of the conference,” Clara said.“I won’t have been able to make it if you didn’t support me,” Ronald said.Clara tried to get out of bed, but Ronald grabbed her hand pulled her to himself, and wrapped his arm around her. “Let’s remain in bed a little more; I have missed you so much,” Ronald said, and Clara smiled.They stayed in bed and even went back to sleep while they cuddled each other till there was a knock on their door. Ronald managed to get up to check who it was because Clara had fallen asleep again.“Good morning, big sister,” Ronald greeted respectfully with a bow.“Looking very handsome this morning.” Rosy’s eyes were fixed on his chest, and then he quickly used his hands to cover it.“That belongs to my wife now, and she alone sho
“For the top rising company of the year 20** Let's welcome the CEO of Ruserick Enterprises.” Ronald, who was giving out the award himself, announced. “Just when everyone thought they would fold up, they came back with another tactic and believe it when I say they are currently partnering with R.B. Constructions,” Ronald added. “Let's welcome the CEO.” He said and the audience clapped.Just as he had planned with Rosy and Kendrick, he did give out awards to CEOs just to encourage them. Rosy and Kendrick were not expecting any award because they felt it was family stuff but they were surprised when Ruserick was mentioned.Ronald watched Kendrick and Rosy from the stage as they expressed their shock. They held hands together, which Rosy initiated, and together, they walked to the stage to collect the award of recognition with smiles.All those who had received an award had said a few words to thank Ronald so when Rosy and Kendrick collected the award, Ronald handed the mic over to them t
“Wifey, are you done dressing up?” Kendrick, who had finished dressing up for more than an hour, was forced to ask Rosy when she didn’t come out of the dressing room after he had waited for so long.“I am almost done. The dresses I picked make the baby bump obvious, and I don’t want it to,” Rosy yelled from inside.Kendrick sighed and stood up. He entered the dressing room, and to his surprise, Rosy still hadn’t picked any dress. He began to help her pick a dress, and finally, he saw a brown gown that wouldn’t reveal her baby bump. He helped her put it on as she was feeling tired and weak, already having changed from five dresses.She applied a little makeup on her face and then Kendrick helped her pack her hair to the back in a way that made her look more beautiful. They walked out of their room holding hands and Lyon was outside already waiting for them.Ronald has pleaded with Rosy to allow Clara and Lyon to stay at her place while they are watched over by a few security and Oswald
“Hello my little Champ,” Clara said.She was on a call with Lyon through Michelle. Clara has made it a routine to always call Lyon before she walks on stage, and so far, it has been really helpful to her because Lyon always encourages her.“Mommy, are you walking on stage soon?” Lyon asked.“Yes baby, I am the next person,” Clara said.“Mommy, you can do it, and you will be the winner as always,” Lyon said with so much pride in his voice.“Awnnn, thank you, baby, mommy will do everything to make you proud, okay,” Clara assured him before she ended the call.She was soon signaled by one of the people in charge of organizing the activities to come closer. She walked closer and waited for her to be given the go-ahead. Soon, she heard a go, and she didn’t hesitate to take up the stage.She walked so beautifully, showing her body and giving the crowd goosebumps. The crowd couldn’t stop yelling and clapping. Just when she waved at everyone, she heard a fan call out her name, ‘That Beautiful
